The twelve plays of Christmas

by edited with introduction by Lowell Swortzell (2000)

About this book

"More plays are seen in the English-speaking world during the holiday season than at any other time of the year. Together the productions share a common purpose: to glorify concepts of Christmas by re-enacting and celebrating traditions, distant and modern, which as their continuing popularity proves, quite obviously, do make us happy."--BOOK JACKET.

Cover of Arachnids

Arachnids

Jan Beccaloni

"Arachnids is a detailed guide to this diverse and complex group of invertebrates. Although the term 'arachnophobia' means the fear of spiders, the class of Arachnida does not consist of spiders alone. It also contains ten other orders including harvestmen, ticks and mites, scorpions, palpigrades, schizomids and others which are lesser known." "Museum Curator Jan Beccaloni explores each of the eleven orders, their varied habitats and their often complex relationships. She also explains arachnid courtship, feeding techniques, defence strategies, silk production, as well as the unusual practice of autotomy - the deliberate shedding of a body part." "This accessible reference will appeal to arachnid enthusiasts and those with a wider interest in the natural world." --Book Jacket.

HNTB Corporation ... [et al

"TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) SHRP 2 Report S2-R04-RR-2: Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal: ABC Toolkit describes standardized approaches to designing and constructing complete bridge systems for rapid renewals. The report includes design standards and design examples for complete prefabricated bridge systems, and proposes specification language for accelerated bridge construction systems, which adheres to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design and Construction Specifications. The R04 MathCAD files for the SHRP 2 Report S2-R04-RR-2 are available to help illustrate the sample accelerated bridge construction (ABC) design calculations. The sample design calculations serve as training tools for engineers to increase familiarity with ABC design issues and criteria. A demonstration project on US 6 over the Keg Creek near Council Bluffs, Iowa was completed in 2011 using the accelerated bridge construction standards developed as part of Renewal Project R04. The following three videos were produced related to the Keg Creek project: ABC for Everyday Bridges (18:39) highlights the specific techniques used to deliver a new bridge with only a 10-day closure. One Design--10,000 Bridges (9:46) describes a tool kit for designing and constructing bridges that brings home the benefits of accelerated bridge construction techniques so local contractors can use typical equipment to build bridges quickly and efficiently. Time-Lapse Video (1:30) shows ABC techniques being used by a local contractor with standard equipment to replace the Keg Creek three-span bridge. SHRP 2 Renewal Project R04 also produced the Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal report that documents the development of standardized approaches to designing and constructing complete bridge systems for rapid renewals"--Publication info.
